Understanding ADHD and Its Impact
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults, leading to difficulties with attention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behaviour. If left undiagnosed, ADHD can significantly impact relationships, work life, and overall mental health. Early identification and diagnosis are crucial to managing the condition effectively. At Gold Coast Psychology Centre, we provide comprehensive ADHD assessments to ensure accurate diagnosis and offer the necessary support for those affected by this disorder.

Initial Consultation
An ADHD assessment at Gold Coast Psychology Centre begins with an initial session where you will discuss your concerns with a registered psychologist. During this session, the psychologist will explain the assessment process and gather preliminary information about your symptoms, experiences, background, and developmental history. This initial session is crucial for tailoring the assessment to your specific needs and helps build rapport with your psychologist, ensuring you feel comfortable and supported throughout the process.
